I recently rejected a posting from Luke as it was off topic. The stated purpose for this email list is "Eco-Conscious Computing". This is what members of the mail list subscribed to talk about.
As Luke has posted emails containing material that is very off topic to this, and other email lists, I have set his account to be 'moderated'. This means that what he writes to the list will first need to be approved, by me, before it is sent to members on the mail list.
I am doing this so that list members do not receive off-topic emails. I will approve on-topic emails.
Luke just tried to write the following to the list (I only quote the start) - I rejected it as off-topic, what he writes is also inaccurate.
**** WILLIAMS having seized control of the mailing list running the EOMA68 project is now engaging in active Censorship, having rejected the message below.
the arm-netbook mailing list now comprises material evidence of criminal activity and i would appreciate it if people could mirror it to preserve the integrity of the evidence. ****
I rejected it with the message: "This list is for eco-friendly computing. I am rejecting this email as it is off topic."
Luke: we wish you the best and hope for your speedy recovery from your current medical problems.

WILLIAMS is acting dangerously by holding a belief that what i write is false (as shown by a statement made by him to PC Khan).
he therefore also is making an accusation that MEDICAL EVIDENCE AND MEDICAL REPORTS PROVIDED BY QUALIFIED REGISTERED DOCTORS is false.
it is a CRIMINAL OFFENSE to make false statements to the police, which is something i would under no circumstances whatsoever do.
WILLIAMS's behaviour is getting more and more dangerous.
please help

WILLIAMS: the message that you rejected contained information which states very clearly that Ischemic brain damage results in death for 30% of sufferers within a few years.
recovery is NOT POSSIBLE.
this is a permanent life-altering debilitating medical condition
I am doing this so that list members do not receive off-topic emails. I will approve on-topic emails.
Alain, I appreciate your intentions. I receive very few messages from this server, and few enough in general, that off-topic messages would not be a problem for me to receive. Further, Luke's current health situation concerns me, as I have had considerable difficulty with my own situation in receiving effective care.
I recognize that this may not be the case for other members of the list.
Is there some sort of switch you could flip so that I could receive unmoderated messages, even if the rest of the group does not? I may not agree with what he says or believes, but I would still like to hear him out. It's the way I was raised, to hear all sides of a story and try to piece together the truth from that, as best one can, when there is a dispute, and to respect all people I encounter unless they make it, for all practical purposes, impossible to do so. Luke has not (yet?) alienated himself in such a manner, to me, that I feel the need to 'cut him loose' as it were, and I'd appreciate the ability to at least hear him out, if only in the hope that at some point he may make some progress towards recovery and perhaps not burn absolutely every bridge he's ever had.

No, not that I am aware of.
Luke's emails seem to be sporadic and he writes to several different places. I only see some of it. You might like to look at libre-soc-dev@lists.libre-soc.org the archives of which are here:

It can be hard to get a rounded/balanced view of what is going on when most of what you read is from one side.

A summary answer is not possible.

as I was explaining: a 16 year Domestic Violence relationship ultimately caused a brain hemmorage stroke around may 23 during one of the appx 3,000 routinely verbally violent 3 hour assaults I was subjected to within my daughter's hearing range, I had to flee for my life on 11 sep 23, and the available money to pay basic living costs had as you know from many many reports ran out as far back as 2018, forcing me to focus on alternative projects and ask and rely on this community to help out.
the stroke caused me to go into convulsions on the floor: I was left there with no emergency services called because she thought it was "fake", and I had to re-learn to speak. the bleed that was created is adversely affected by both stress and barometric pressure.
an Ischemic stroke, characterized by small blood vessel damage to the brain, combined with autism where stress and shock causes neuronal inflammation and neuronal toxicity, further reducing brain oxygen supply, where Chronic Adrenal Fatigue results in elevated Cortisol levels that further reduce brain oxygen supply to areas such as the hypothalamus, is the "last straw" that results in personality change, massively-reduced tolerance to stress, depression, speech slowing, slurred speech, inexplicable mood changes, and much more.
the project I started to earn money to keep going financially is Libre-SOC and when I set up a company to commercialize it the effects of the stroke, combined with autism and chronic Adrenal fatigue syndrome and PTSD / Torture combined to leave me life-threateningly medically vulnerable if distraught or shocked in any way. that was illegally exploited by assaulting me on 15 Dec 2024 in order to illegally seize control of my company on 16th and 17th Dec 24.
my efforts to get through to people the seriousness of the danger I was in were not believed: the transient nature and that I had no prior medical records, medical "professionals" systematically thought the symptoms were fake.
CALDERWOOD a former colleague began systematically contacting friends including WILLIAMS, family members, the Libre-SOC Research members, the EU funding bodies of Libre-SOC, Company's House, the OpenPOWER foundation, everyone I knew, giving a catastrophically KNOWINGLY false and fraudulent misrepresentation of the facts, stating that I am violent abusive and dangerous, in such a believable fashion, leaving out that he knew I had had a stroke because we had been speaking nearly every day when it was possible for me to communicate, that not one single person felt safe contacting me to check the actual facts.
the result of his breathtaking fraud was that I was violently assaulted systematically, both physiologically and physically, with the shock causing over a hundred Transient Ischaemic Attacks that invariably resulted in Anaphylaxis (airway blocking) due to throat swelling as well as a collapse of control over the muscles in my throat.
the lack of belief that this is even possible, medically, because it is such a rare and unusual medical occurrence, has itself led to assault after assault, including by WILLIAMS who flatly refuses to accept that he has caused several Ischemic strokes because he has had discussions with GOUDRIAAN of NLnet and has been informed "Luke is violent and dangerous, faking medical symptoms and trying to get revenge on his ex-partner and ex-business colleagues by making false and criminal reports to the police". GOUDRIAAN being one of the people that CALDERWOOD successful and criminally manipulated.
the end result is that I have no money and no equipment, the box containing all my prototype Cards I had to abandon on fleeing for my life on 3rd Dec 24, when a TIA caused me to be unable to speak for the next 72 hours, the 50 prototype Micro desktop PCBs are in Taiwan, held in storage by my narcissist and dangerous ex-partner, WILLIAMS intransigence and violence has so badly intimidated Crowdsupply that they no longer respond, Crowdsupply are holding the run of 100 Cards, and WILLIAMS has now seized control of the mailing list and changed its purpose to one that prevents me from communicating with backers such as yourself.
the damage caused by the stroke is, according to Western Medical science, something that is unrecoverable: 30% of people with this type of stroke die within 3 years.
you can only "mitigate" it. Hyperbaric Oxygen treatment will TEMPORARILY compensate for the Ischemic damage (burst small blood vessels in the brain, reducing oxygen supply).
bottom line: you will be able to get your EOMA68 Card when the blockages that are beyond my control are removed, and when people help out to do the work needed (something I have reiterated many many times over the past decade).
WILLIAMS *genuinely* believes that I am a psychotic liar. having assaulted me he is now very angry and completely unwilling to see reason. every effort to get through to him is met by violent aggressive disbelief ("you HAVE to be lying about the medical danger I placed you in.").
I have attempted to explain the medical danger many many times: he responds aggressively with total denial or simply does not respond.
there has not been *one single question* where he has believed the answer: no followup questions whatsoever.
he sees CALDERWOOD's fraudulent fake story, and no other possibility enters his mind.
I cannot even get a copy of the mailing list to transfer it to an alternative server out of his control, as he has seized full control and removed administrative rights in an effort to enforce his falsely-perceived perspective.
I basically have no way to communicate with backers.
financially that leaves me in a vulnerable position as there is the $30,000 which is being held by Crowdsupply pending shipping starting.
what astonishes me is that I have over 2 years video evidence (almost 3000) and medical reports now coming in, and yet people including WILLIAMS still fail to listen.

All right, Luke. Those are some very serious allegations. I would like you to give a fair chance for Alain and -- I'm sorry, I'm not good with names -- whoever "Calderwood" is, a fair chance to give their side of the story as well, or to abstain from doing so if they choose. This is not a democracy, it is true, nor are due process and an impartial trial guaranteed here, but the principles at least which guide how democracy and the US Justice System are founded, those principles are a very good place to start, even if one believes (or not) that things have perhaps gone awry over time -- which, I must emphasize, is not a discussion for this place and time.
Alain, Mr or Ms Calderwood, I would appreciate hearing from each of you, your own side of things, independent of what Luke has said. I'm not looking for a refutation, specifically, just an accounting of things as you believe they happened. Luke has mentioned that he has copious documentation, and I'd be interested to hear if you have similar means of supporting your attestations of what went down and when. Also, if anyone else feels led to chime in and offer information they believe is relevant, I would like to hear that as well.
Two last things. One, Luke, I know that sometimes your emotions get the better of you, and cause you to have loud outbursts. I'd appreciate it if you'd do your best to refrain this time. I'm trying to be fair and neutral here, and that means giving others a chance to speak for themselves, or at least respond. (Also, yes, there will come a time when I ask further about the documentation.) Two, Alain, please allow this discussion to go forward on-list; shutting it down without allowing others, including yourself, to give voice to their own experiences would be extremely destructive right now and might even feel escalatory to Luke. I don't think any of us want that -- I know that I don't.

Alain, Mr or Ms Calderwood, I would appreciate hearing from each of you, your own side of things, independent of what Luke has said.
Chris: any communication you receive please treat it as material evidence.
you are *unintentionally* asking to become a private witness to a crime that is unfolding *right now*.
CALDERWOOD has already published his "side". I spent a year analysing what he wrote, and am still tracking Subject Access Requests to parties who he manipulated
I did receive a response from Company's House: they stated unequivocably that they did not authorize him to make the statements that he did.
bottom line: CALDERWOOD has been caught lying. that is hard evidence of him acting without authority, fraudulently representing himself as an Authorized Representative of His Majesty's Government.
WILLIAMS has also responded clearly and unequivocably that he believes me to be a psychotic dangerous liar, faking medical symptoms.
I'm not looking for a refutation, specifically, just an accounting of things as you believe they happened. Luke has mentioned that he has copious documentation, and I'd be interested to hear if you have similar means of supporting your attestations of what went down and when.
that would require them to publish material evidence. I would be delighted if they did exactly that.
Also, if anyone else feels led to chime in and offer information they believe is relevant, I would like to hear that as well.
Two last things. One, Luke, I know that sometimes your emotions get the better of you, and cause you to have loud outbursts.
no, Chris: three CHRONIC SERIOUS MEDICAL CONDITIONS combine to mean that it goes far beyond that.
read up on torture and Ischemic strokes. (small vessel Disease). both state very clearly that any kind of stress can cause someone to become immediately frightened far beyond any "reasonable" seeming level, and the underlying MEDICAL basis for that is DANGEROUSLY DEBILITATING OXYGEN DEPRIVATION due to the burst blood vessels reducing blood supply.
It is so serious that i am at risk of death if distressed or shocked.
I woke yesterday morning with a viral infection from a Tick bite, and immediately went into Anaphylactic shock and a mini-stroke. I recorded it and published it yesterday.
this is NOT a "what a fuckhead he's INTENTIONALLY being a spiteful vicious FUCKING TWAT, omg omg bully him and get him the fuck out because he DESERVES to be punished for his OBVIOUSLY deliberate malicious behaviour"
this is MEDICAL FACTUAL PHYSIOLOGICAL RESPONSE of a DISABLED ADULT with GENETIC MEDICAL CONDITIONS and BRAIN DAMAGE FROM STROKES.
I'd appreciate it if you'd do your best to refrain this time. I'm trying to be fair and neutral here, and that means giving others a chance to speak for themselves, or at least respond. (Also, yes, there will come a time when I ask further about the documentation.) Two, Alain, please allow this discussion to go forward on-list; shutting it down without allowing others, including yourself, to give voice to their own experiences would be extremely destructive right now and might even feel escalatory to Luke.
it's too late for that: WILLIAMS has already devastated the project's chances of completion by poisoning my relationship with Crowdsupply, and I have been forced to report him to the police for at least two very serious criminal offenses.
I haven't yet got round to reporting the third offense of him causing an Ischemic stroke yesterday.
I don't think any of us want that -- I know that I don't.
all that
-- *Chris/Skye H.*
*Question everything, respect everyone. Live deliberately. Feel young, but be wise. Always learn if you can. Go with the flow, for the river knows. Never be cruel or cowardly, always kind. Let your life roar. Laugh hard. Run fast, fly high, breathe deep... seek peace.*

Luke, please refrain from further remarks until Alain and 'Calderwood' have spoken. This is the kind of outburst I was asking you to refrain from. What is obvious and known and very clear to you is not necessarily so to others.
You've said your piece. Continuing to argue your cause actually will have a counter-effect to what you desire. You will have a chance to speak again, later on.

Many have tried along the years, with the same open, professional, serene kindness attitude you are trying to display... for the same predictable result: in the end, they all had to severe links with him. There are evidences of this tragic history all over the Internet if you search a bit. Family, friends, workmates, business relations, medical personnel, people who gave him money: they all had to, after being abused, insulted, publicly libelled, threatened, dragged into police/justice procedures and tolerating way too long those intolerable things in order to help him. The same is going to happen to you.
As far as projects are concerned, he always used the money to pursue random personal side projects, painted himself in a corner, and then said he was gonna die if someone didn't give him 10.000 £/€ or so before a couple of weeks. Rinse and repeat. Those projects and their outcome are in fact just a tiny point in a more concerning and hopeless overall picture, as you understand it. People still waiting for them should better write them off for good, and move on (I mean, I am sure 99.9% of the people already did it).
This has been going on for years (perhaps up to 15 years), and it only got worse year after year. In his good periods, he successfully managed to convince people to trust and hire or finance him, despite a dubious track record; his enlightenment made him good at talking, and many gave him another chance, and then another, etc. But the 'enlightenment' has degenerated over the years into more serious forms, and now the guy is beyond repair, locked inside a deteriorating loop, he is a danger to anyone trying to help him. Many, from different backgrounds and with different skills, tried. To no avail.

If that is your condemnation of Luke, I shudder to think what you would make of me. I have a number of mobility issues stemming from chronic pain and fatigue issues that have never been diagnosed and a simple leg infection that turned into lymphedema -- swelling -- simply because access to effective care where I live is nearly impossible to get. Time has only made worse what was already there, as well...
As for the why of it, because I believe in it. Because I believe in humanity -- and the way I define what 'human' means is not based on the physical. I believe that the thing that most defines us as humans is our compassion and empathy toward one another. Our first instinct, in times of difficulty, is to gather together, to form impromptu community to try and get through the trial, the crisis, as unharmed as possible, together. Yes, we can be taught to forget this, to lay it aside and reject it, and think and act only for ourselves -- at least for a time. We can even be taught to outright reject such an idea. But we have to be taught. We have to learn to be that way. Do you know, one of the oldest phrases in the English language, comes from somewhere so long ago in our history as a species that it predates written language entirely? Sure, it's been Anglicized (brought into English), but it goes back far enough that nobody now could ever trace its true origin for certain. It likely originates somewhere in the Fertile Crescent, somewhere shortly after humanity stopped living in caves for the most part... or, perhaps, it is that old. What is that phrase?
"It takes a village to raise a child."
What makes us human is compassion. Even the great anthropologist, Margaret Mead, recognized this. When asked what she considered the first sign of civilization, her response was to see a femur bone that had broken and healed -- a leg bone. If you break your leg, you can't walk or run, you can't hunt or forage. You are someone else's lunch waiting to happen. Because of the anatomy of that bone and the bones and muscles and connective tissue around it, that is not a wound that you will live long enough to have heal, if you are an animal. A broken femur that has then healed, that means that someone else came along, they tended that wound, carried the being to safety, and cared for them until they could walk again.Margaret Mead's definition of civilization wasn't agriculture. It wasn't religion. It wasn't cities or nomadic groups. It was the act of helping others through difficulty.
Above all, I was raised to be respectful of everyone, period, unless they make it impossible on a practical level to do so. I wish this were more commonly taught to people, the world would be a better place for it.
Call me an idealist and a dreamer if you must. Dismiss me for it, even. But, before you do, I ask that you read the words below my name. That is not only a set of simple remarks, but something I put together over several days. It's how I live my life, the principles I hold most dear, outside of the most foundational stuff (like honesty), and it's how I believe in living my life. I will not judge you for it, if you reject them, but I would like to think that you
The concept of due process, in action, is very simple -- notice, and an opportunity to be heard. Alain gave notice to Luke, and now he has been heard. I want to give Alain and the others their own chances to weigh in. You may have already written him off, but I have not. If and when that time comes, I have my own ways of dealing with it. I do NOT support banning Luke at this time. It would upset me greatly if that happened, and it would make it impossible for me to continue here.
...oh, and Stephane, it saddens me to think that you would judge me so harshly. I am rarely if ever an advocate of religion, but those who are tell me that only one who is a God should judge people, and while I don't really know what makes someone a God, exactly, I know I'm not one -- and, for once, I find myself agreeing with the religious types. I won't offer to pray for you -- it wouldn't do any good anyways -- but I will ask, respectfully, that you hold back your judgement of both myself and Luke, at least for the time being.
Apologies: there are 429 members on this list. I did not realise that Luke was subscribed 3 times. I have now put lkcl@lkcl.net on moderation as well as the 2 others. I will approve emails from him that, by & large, talk about "Eco-Conscious Computing" which is the purpose of this list:
https://lists.phcomp.co.uk/mailman3/postorius/lists/arm-netbook.lists.phcomp...
Some of what Luke has said about me in the email below is false, I will briefly address those points. I will refrain from commenting on what he has said about others - that is not up to me and I do not know all the facts.

WITHOUT PREJUDICE
For those who are not aware this is a legal term. The idea is to try to stop the communication from being used in court proceedings where the communication is an attempt to settle a dispute. However: putting "without prejudice" at the top of potentially libellous comments (without attempt to reach a settlement) is no guarantee of preventing it from being used in court, which is what Luke appears to be trying to do:

This is off-topic for this mail list. I make no comment on the veracity of what Luke says. This, and similar, stories Luke has said many times on various forums.
the lack of belief that this is even possible, medically, because it is such a rare and unusual medical occurrence, has itself led to assault after assault, including by WILLIAMS who flatly refuses to accept that he has caused several Ischemic strokes because he has had discussions with GOUDRIAAN of NLnet and has been informed "Luke is violent and dangerous, faking medical symptoms and trying to get revenge on his ex-partner and ex-business colleagues by making false and criminal reports to the police". GOUDRIAAN being one of the people that CALDERWOOD successful and criminally manipulated.
I have seen many discussions between Luke and Mr Goudriaan and at one point tried to mediate. My assessment is that Luke was rude and abusive; Mr Goudriaan was reasonable and tried hard to help Luke through his problems.
I am only aware of some of the discussions between Luke & Mr Calderwood and so will not comment. I have spoken with Mr Calderwood and do not have any problem with him.
WILLIAMS intransigence and violence has so badly intimidated Crowdsupply that they no longer respond,
Not true.
WILLIAMS has now seized control of the mailing list and changed its purpose to one that prevents me from communicating with backers such as yourself.
This list has always run on my machine and I have always been the sole administrator. Thus I have not "now seized control" or changed its purpose.
WILLIAMS *genuinely* believes that I am a psychotic liar. having assaulted me he is now very angry and completely unwilling to see reason. every effort to get through to him is met by violent aggressive disbelief ("you HAVE to be lying about the medical danger I placed you in.").
Luke seems to define (violent) assault as disagreeing with him or contradicting him. I am aware of some of Luke's medical and other issues; I will not say more.
what astonishes me is that I have over 2 years video evidence (almost 3000) and medical reports now coming in, and yet people including WILLIAMS still fail to listen.
I have listened, to much more than mail lists, but come to a different conclusion from Luke. Yes: he has medical issues; No: to the idea that most of the causes of his problems are due to other people.
Luke: I hope that you come to realise that most of us wish you well and hope that you recover from your problems. Many people have tried to help you, however: they have their own feelings, needs and problems, you cannot abuse them and blame them for your own problems.

Alain, would you be willing, please, to go into more detail there? The fact of how little you're sharing concerns me.

No:
• I do not want a flame war on this list
• It is really off topic; the real reasons are due to Luke's mental health problems - not to do with Eco friendly computing
• Further comment will, I believe, not be helpful to Luke's mental health
• If I were to then I might feel pressured to let Luke reply => flame war
• I am not aware of everything - this is why I commented on what had been said about me
• I do not want to breach Luke's privacy by making comments/... about him that are not in reply to comments that he has made about me
• I have other things to do with my life, I have already wasted 2 hours today
• You are, of course, free to contact him off list

Alain, I think Luke understands that he's said enough. I'm not asking you for everything. I just want enough information from you, in a public space where all of us can see it, to feel like I have your side of the story. I don't have that right now.
Alain, I have received the following from Luke:
chris: can i ask you the favour of getting WILLIAMS to remove
all subscriptions? as i have no administrative access, and the identifying information ("To xx") is REMOVED, i have no way of knowing which email addresses are subscribed.
i keep receiving messages and they are DANGEROUS to my health and to my life. they HAVE to stop.
I find this very concerning, but, please do as he says.

Luke, you can at least be polite.
I also do not understand what you are asking. Are you asking that all members are removed from the list ?

If you do not want to receive messages from the list then you can remove yourself from the list and you will no longer receive anything from the list.

Alain, I don't believe he's receiving messages like he's supposed to. I'd asked him for clarification and it sounds like he thinks he's being blocked. He says he's not getting anything at all through lists.phcomp.co.uk, only through other places. I wasn't given a lot of detail, just a very emphatic, please make it stop because something's wrong.
The better part of me wants to think this is a simple config accident, something got misclicked, but... it doesn't look good. I'm concerned about the effect this is having on his mental heath -- I don't know enough about medicine to evaluate his symptoms one way or another, far from it, but I know what someone sounds like when their mind is in enough pain to affect normal thought processes, and Luke sounds EXTREMELY unhealthy to me.
I'm unusually sensitive to it, especially for someone with autism... having a mother who suddenly falls ill and becomes a perpetrator of nonphysical domestic violence against you for over a decade will do that to a person. Sadly.
